These sweethearts.
Congratulations Kait and Ricardo. Your calm smiles say it all. ♥️

I used to do birth work, and in doing so, I made many intimate human connections while being present with women ad they transitioned from a single body into two, and couples became families.

Being a florist has that same energy of being a part of a transition in the human journey, although no where near actually intimate, (we met in Trink's parking lot to handoff the bouquet) but it still feels important and sacred to me.

It is truly an honor and a pleasure to create for people who are in love and choosing to move forward into togetherness.
I always ask couples for pictures of themselves so I can have an image of who I am designing for, and keep a prayer going for them as I work.

Thank you again .hsu for allowing me use these photos on instagram. Best to you and Ricardo! Into the future!

Congratulations Dani and Cooper. May your love endure. I sure enjoyed creating the altar for your ceremony, I enjoyed that the wind was calm and there were whales breeching, and that I got to meet your moms. 🪷

A few from this week. Summer here on the southern Mendocino coast is in full swing and the flowers are presenting in luxe and elegant style. The wind is howling, the sun is hot, and the river is cool and flowing.

Thanks for growing the flowers

These memorial arrangements were made with the intention of soothing the torn open hearts of those living in grief. May it be that way, and may the soothing ripple outward to all those grieving, everywhere.

This is my first year really trying to grow cut flowers for Jen's Garden by the Sea. I wasn't putting any pressure on myself, I just wanted to get started and see how it evolved. I have a garden of interesting things, but cut flowers are next level. I planted perennials, had a wall of sweet peas, tons of ranuculus, a few really nice delphiniums, (so, some sucess). I have some nice plants, but as far as buckets of cut flowers on a regular basis? Not even close. I bought random starts from locals and friends and ...(not surprising ) much of what I grew was pink, has short stems, or fell over in the wind. Im excited for what's to come tho, and I'm going to keep going.
The best benefit I've received from increasing my gardening energy is not having flowers to sell, but spending more time near the Mother Earth, which is healing and comforting for me, I pray it is for her too. Hands in the dirt!

But about the flowers, these loves went to brighten someone's birthday. One from her daughter and one from her husband. Happy birthday Lynne 💦

Tropical theme. V fun.
